Tourist attraction in Derby

“Very fun experience. Harry was a great game master. We did Edith, I wished they were a higher variety of puzzles but we enjoyed them still, a bit scary, definitely got some screams out of us ahahaha, enjoyed the uniqueness of the story behind the room. Generally good experience. Will come again to try Alan”

“New experience by night. Great to see the cathedral is as pretty at night as it is in the daytime. Always welcoming and run by a friendly team. Amazing seasonal events and such a beautiful grand place. The Christmas concert is always spectacular. Thank you.”

“Ordered steak , it was so amazing cooked and taste very nice! The portion was very good, couldn't even finish all chips ! There is no place in derby with same taste of steak. Highly recommended. Interior inside amazing, really love it. Friendly staff. Definitely come back to try something more from Greek cuisine!”

“Didn't know what a gem this was! Free entry for this place is mad. It has so much to see. There was art, taxidermy, ceramics, history of war room. A cafe on the ground floor too. So much to see and can easily spend a good hour or two here. The staff were pleasant and helpful, too.”

“Great store ,friendly helpful staff. Can pick up online orders and has changing rooms.”

“From day one this hotel was just perfect! The location is spot on – right next to the Derbion with fantastic transport links, making it really convenient. The cleanliness throughout the hotel is impeccable, everything feels fresh and well looked after. The staff here are absolutely brilliant – friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The restaurant is top notch nosh, with great food and service to match. A special shout out has to go to both Pat and George for their incredible customer service. They were lovely, chatty, friendly, and nothing was ever too much to ask. They’re a true credit to the team and made my stay extra enjoyable. Can’t recommend this Premier Inn highly enough – I’ll definitely be back!”

“Great buffet experience with a wide variety of Chinese, Indian, and continental dishes along with live stations. Everything was fresh and tasty, and the options were well presented. The only thing I really missed was crispy fried prawns, which would have made it perfect, hence one star less. Otherwise, highly recommended!”

“A popular real ale pub with friendly and welcoming staff. A great range of beers including those from the Derby Brewing Company. We also had some of their burgers, which were very tasty and pretty good value. It's also very conveniently located near the city centre”

“This park is lovely. I enjoy a walk around it most mornings”

“Been a few times and the food and service never disappoints. 5 stars all the way from me.”

“A really beautiful and peaceful place. Many of the monuments are stunning, and really honour the memory of those people they represent. We paid a small amount extra for the land train tour. This allowed us to cover most of the site, albeit in not a huge amount of detail. The commentary onboard was very interesting and informative. I had no idea the main feature of the armed forces memorial has a solar feature built in which allows a shaft of light to illuminate a central plinth at 11am on November 11th each year. Would recommend it to anyone to visit and pay respects to those who fought for freedom. Money raised by car parking and tours goes to the British legion.”

“Good experience, funny helpful staff, prompt with booking and induction, great facility, well designed with good traps, easy to find a good experience to try out, was a good day!”

“Absolutely fantastic place. It’s huge and has a fantastic array of cars to look at. You get given a handheld tablet aswell which gives you a tour round the place and options to get the history behind individual cars which is fascinating. Highly recommend anyone to visit here.”

“Superb customer service from the lads at the shop today, swapped a top and like he knew I was coming! Excellent service and top tier gear”

“Absolute gem- was not expecting to see paintings and sculptures by Moore, Degas, Toulouse- Letrec, Rosalli, Monet, Van Gogh.. all without crowds and high entrance fees for exhibits! Well worth a visit and supporting through easy to use contactless donation points. Beautiful art deco building makes this, along with Winterbourne around the corner a joint favourite place to visit in Birmingham. Could do with a dedicated cafe and seating around to pull in the punters and agree with suggestions about poor lighting and tilt on some paintings but overall a wonderful local asset! Interesting scent exhibition at present too”

“Very nice Caffe. Bored of all repetitive other Caffe? Try this, you wont be disappointed”

“Amazing restaurant with truly delicious Polish food! The Zrazy were done perfectly and tasted just like home. What really stood out was the hospitality, the owner gave us the warmest welcome we’ve ever received in the UK. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Nice large car park and looks like a overflow when very busy. There is a small cafe and information centre. Short walk up Dovedale to stepping stones,or you can go further to caves etc.”

“Lovely opportunity to meet feed and fuss animals. Absolutely loads of toys for the children to play on. Would 100% recommend visiting. The tea rooms food was lovely. All the facilities are spotless.”

“What a great place! The house was finished in 1765 which was intended for grand entertaining and used to display superb paintings, sculptures and furniture. Kedleston celebrates one 18th century landowners fascination with classical Rome and this can be seen and witnessed throughout the entire house”

“Fantastic restaurant. Great holiday feel, food was incredible, the Biscoff Cheesecake was to die for. Friendly, courteous staff. Convenient parking.”

“Had an incredible meal tonight. The service was fantastic, the staff very friendly and the food superb. Have been multiple times and every time they've put on a fantastic meal every time! Would thoroughly recommend!”

“Great looking menu pity we were the only gusts there at the time. Would loved to have had a chat with the wonderful Polish people. We intend to visit Poland on our next adventure and would have liked to have had some tips and pointers on places to visit and food to try. We'll go again for definite and would recommend it to anyone. Cheers!”

“Great experience to be guided through these caves. Our guide was very knowledgeable and comical throughout making the whole experience very enjoyable. Lots of steps though so not ideal for anyone with mobility problems, but there's plenty of notices around to warn you of this. There's time to take photos too. Highly recommend this tour.”

“Carsington Water truly exceeded our expectations during our recent bike ride around the reservoir. It's an absolutely superb destination for cyclists and nature lovers alike. The cycle pathways are exceptionally well maintained, providing a smooth and enjoyable ride throughout the entire loop. It's clear a lot of care goes into keeping them in top condition, making it accessible and pleasant for all skill levels. What truly sets Carsington Water apart are the stunning views that unfold as you pedal along. Every turn offers a new picturesque vista of the water and the surrounding Derbyshire countryside. We found ourselves frequently pausing just to take it all in. Conveniently, there are plenty of benches strategically placed along the route, which allowed us to stop, rest, and really soak up the beautiful surroundings without feeling rushed. If you're looking for a refreshing outdoor activity with breathtaking scenery and excellent facilities, a bike ride around Carsington Water is an absolute must. We had a brilliant time and can't wait to go back!”

“Had a wonderful experience celebrating Bon fire night with the children would definitely be returning next year lots of food variety very accessible and plenty of activities for all ages to join”

“A friend and I arrived without booking and the staff were very accommodating, we had to depart by 7.30, but arriving at 6.15 gave us plenty of time. I had king prawn and chorizo penne which was really good. Followed by cheese cake accompanied by a glass of fizz. Really good food and very good service.”

“There is a LONG drive to the entrance. Be sure that your GPS takes you to the correct one. Calke Abbey is maintained a bit differently from other National Trust Properties. The Trust chose not to try to bring it back to its original glory, but rather, to leave it in the condition in which it was received, which includes wings of rooms in disrepair. Tour is self guided but volunteers are frequent to offer explanations or answer questions. One of the unique holdings is a state bed made for King George I in 1715. The bed linens were found by the Trust rolled up in the basement. Since they were in perfect condition, the bed is set up as it would have been and preserved behind glass. Another was the caricature room whose walls were covered with humor satirical pictures. I found it to be quite entertaining. The dining room featured some outstanding decor, simply presented. The main entertaining room was filled with glass cabinets loaded with taxidermy. Not my favorite but that is how the family had left it to the Trust. One particular wing has rooms that are in complete disrepair with the ceilings falling, wall paper peeling, and loads of broken furniture haphazardly tossed in the room. Not at all what one would expect while walking through a National Trust Site. Calke Abbey is perfect example of a country estate that was barely held together in the 20th century. Many similar country houses did not survive to tell their story. We are National Trust members (via Royal Oak), so I cannot attest to the cost of entry. Parking lot was within easy walk of the entrance. No reservations were needed.”
